Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself. I currently own a 1999 Ford Escort ZX2 that put down 326whp/296wtq. I also own a 2007 Legacy GT...5 speed, silver, all stock except I bought a new GMS exhaust for it. I just turned 21 years old and I bought a house in Canal Winchester, but I am from Hilliard and my girlfriend lives in Powell, so I am frequently all over the city. So far I love the Subaru (only owned it since February 15th) and will always love the Zx2. I am on multiple car websites, including centralohiosubarus.com, teamzx2.com, focaljet.com, nasioc.com, etc. I do know plenty about cars I've owned 14 Escorts and 18 cars total. I usually buy them, fix them, and sell them. Here are some pictures of the Escort. It's currently down in Florida to get retuned. If anyone has ever seen the HUGE Escort meet in Hilliard, yes, that is me hosting that. I want to wash the Subaru before I post up pictures. Anyways, nice to meet you all!! Brad P.s. Yes, I do expect to be flamed for modding an escort, but it is nothing new. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/ZX2dyno.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/1286117347408.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/010-2.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/024.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/034-1.jpg

Riding has no rational explanation Via: http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2011/03/riding-has-no-rational-explanation/ Personal commentary:This. F*(king this. This video is the closest embodiment of what ORDN and motorcycling means to me and the people I've had the opportunity to ride with - the scenery, the rides, the bikes, the people, the goofiness, the tickets, the karaoke, the stops, and even the occasional accident. Yes, I watched all 52 minutes of it. The only real change for me is that the soundtrack inside my head is a harder... but this compilation called "The Habitat" from Wisconsin Sportbike Riders (WISpR - out of Madison I think) captures it all. I can't wait to get out this summer with all you knuckleheads.

Hi ya'll I've been talking with the owner of Motoseries (Todd) and I've been trying to get our little group here a discounted day at Nelson Ledges. Here is the link to Motoseries website: www.motoseries.com Since I am such a smooth talker and don't have a gag reflex, I got him to give us almost a 20% discount for April and May. I'll make a separate thread for May. So, what that means is he will give us $20 off for the Saturday, April 16th 2011 track day event. But we have to get at least something like 10 people to get this to work. If we can get more people, we can get an even better discount... so the more the merrier. If you're interested, post up here. I'll be there already to harass Isaac's Papa and some other people that need harassing. If you know you want to go, go to the site and sign up with this code: ohride11 Any questions, I can try to help as much as I can. There are others here that have been to Nelson quite a few times that will chime in. You know you want to see me in my panda leathers riding the ugly bumblebee looking bike around the track. NOTE: I am asking that you keep this thread related to the track day event and whether you want in or not. I will give a run down of the track and track day org as objectively as possible later in the thread when I get time. If you have a deep seeded hatred for Motoseries or Nelson for whatever reason, take it to another thread (I will be asking mods for help on this). This thread is to get people on the track, and have some fun, and do it without breaking the bank.

Always liked this one

Funny, that's how he "dates" too!

Merit based pay also is difficult in most public employment. In a job with no actual product just a service how do you determine merit. For teachers? By students test scores? That just opens the door for them to make class work easier. What about special ed? Their students are bound to have lower test scores. Gym teachers? They can't help if a kids parents have guided him/her into an unhealthy lifestyle. Fire fighters? By the amount of fires they fight? How many times they risk their life? Police by the tickets and arrests? Everyone needs to straighten up if that's the case because they will start nit-picking every little violation. Or corrections officers? By the amount of inmates we keep inside the fence? Merit based pay opens the door for favoritism and ethics issues. Not to mention the lawsuits based on claims of favoritism and ethics violations.

Why I'm angry is I not only work my butt off everyday I also am risking my life everyday. I made $38,000 last year and that's including the overtime I worked. I go into a very hostile environment and tell the people that refused to follow the rules of society to follow the rules of prison. Contrary to popular belief inmates do not stop being criminals just because they are locked up. They break rules and laws while in prison. They are not locked in a cell all day. Most of the day they hang out in the dayroom or out on the yard. They become violent over the dumbest reasons. When that happens I have to put myself in harms way to control the situation. Myself and fellow officers do not carry weapons of any kind. We are greatly out numbered about 50 officers on my shift to the 2500 inmates. It's a very dangerous place that most people spend their entire life trying to avoid. I walk in and do a damn good job for and average wage. Most people on here would never go into the bad side of town or the "hood" but think I should not have a union to help me try to make the best of my work conditions. I get an average wage but politicians make a lot more and think I should get less. Salary of Speaker of the House...$223,500. Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders...$193,400. Average US Salary...$33,000 to $77,000 Maybe our elected officials should make an average salary too. Our union does a lot more than people think. It keeps the state out of court by helping resolve issues before they go to court. If an employee feels the employer (the state) by way of its supervisors or other means is doing something wrong they file a grievance and work it out. Instead of getting a lawyer and going to court. If an inmate claims I've done him wrong the state has to investigate that. Without a union to sit in with me during an investigation the state would need to provide me with a lawyer until they found that I was not working within the policies of my job. The union official that sits in saves the state from having to pay for legal council. They help mandate the ratio of officers to inmates. The list goes on but I'm not going to type all day. People keep saying were unionizing against tax payers, we are tax payers. Cut our income you cut the taxes we pay therefore the state will have less money in its budget for the next go around. Eventually the taxes for everyone will go up.

Not really, but you came close. It's sideways.

^ ^ That apparently wasn't it

sounds like a match made in heaven! i wish i started on a dual sport. dont get me wrong, the ex500 is not a bad choice for a starter bike, but dual sports are just that much bettererer depending on what kind of riding you want to do. congrats on getting your woman to ride. i'm trying to break my gf in with a scooter. gotta start with just the tip, dontcha know

Some people may like this one and some people may not... However, I saw this on a bumper sticker and I thought it was pretty funny! Obama: A One Word Joke!

and why is that? is it the flat black paint or one of the 3 surface rust bubbles on the whole car? i just need to know, because when i drop it off at the crusher i want to point out why my car is such an unworthy piece of shit. seriously, admit it. you just wanna talk shit cuz i called out your boyfriend on here. go fuck yourself, you're a dick, your friend is a dick, and your other friend is a molester.

By the way, thanks everyone for the positive rep. Maybe I'll be able to see the rest of the forum soon!

I figure Jporter oughta be all over this...

Correct. A racist comment would be something like "Hey this guy had the cover off of an ATM, but he looks Nigerian so he is probably stealing."

you know i folowed the stickies and umm i was told my car is a pos then umm yea it exploded from there if you see something bad beside my intro i realize plz show me

then have some respect and stay the fuck out of the way

Then stop at fucking red lights.

I am selling my 64 GB Ipad. It is in nearly perfect conditon and has been in a leather case since brand new. It will come with a leather case and silver keyboard dock for typing without using the touchscreen. The tablet style just doesnt fit what I need to do as well as not having flash without jailbreaking it really turns me off but some people love them. It works perfectly and has been restored to all factory settings. The battery life is still perfect and has no issues at all holding a full charge. Please call or text me at 614-507-8183

Fuck bikes, get a horse.

^^ and stay the fuck out of my blind spot and if you decide to try and go straight crossing in front of me as I turn right with my signal on, you're going to fly across my hood and paint my fender with your nuts as I'm not yielding to any more dicks who think that bicyclists can do whatever they want. I had a guy actually try that and wipe out right at Snouffer and Bent Tree. Then he proceeded to get up flicking ME off. FUCK YOU. You wiped out and were in the wrong. I HAVE the right of way NOT YOU. I was turning right, came to a complete stop and signaled. YOU tried to run the red light. DUMB ASS! Cop let me go within 5 minutes but I believe wrote the bicyclist up. That was years ago, but it still happens there all the time.
